Reads a <code>.tx</code>/<code>.tj</code> template file and returns its object <a href="value"><code>Value</code></a> — the reusable object definition an instance inherits. <a href="tiled-load"><code>Tiled.load</code></a> resolves each object's <code>template</code> reference automatically, merging the template's fields under the instance's overrides.
